Table 2. TFF2 serum and urine concentrations as well as fract TFF2 excretion analysed within nephropathies diagnosed in more than 10 patients.
Glomerulonephritis | Vasc. nephropathy | Diabetic nephropathy | |
---|---|---|---|
TFF2 serum conc., (ng ml-1) | 3.6 (1–10) | 9.5 (2–33.3)* | 13.5 (4.2–28.1)* |
TFF2 urine conc., (ng ml-1) | 114.2 (9.5–272.7) | 86.2 (23.3–277.3) | 90.4 (29.5–286.6) |
fract. TFF2 excretion | 67.1 (9.6–328) | 16.1 (6.8–77.7)* | 38.2 (16.6–130.3) |
All patients with the given disease were included, Asterisks indicate significant differences in values between vascular nephropathy or diabetic nephropathy as compared to glomerulonephritis (p < 0.01). No significant differences between vascular nephropathy and diabetic nephropathy or within urine concentrations could be found.
